well shit's manga / #tender(159)

IMMEDIATE 10/10 FULL STARS!!!!!!!!!!!! give me sweet sunshine catboy and his exhausted worker husband and i will eat that shit UPPPPPPPPPP. Kedama no.1 best wife ever, love how chigusa never corrected his colleagues from wondering if he has a cat, a wife, a cat wife, and a girlfriend LOL its so cute. And kedama is SOOOOOO fucking gender, the gender is gendering so hard i love it. But real talk i did not expect to get my heart squeezed when i read this. I was tearing up in almost every chapter bc of how earnest and sweet kedama is, especially after knowing how badly he has been treated. Like look at him as a fluffball how could people be so mean to him my heart broke at him wanting to be useful for chigusa. “If master is happy, im happy!” KEDAMA MY SWEET BOY all he wanted was to be loved…. Im gonna cry And chigusa’s character is so well fleshed out too. His character development and conflict regarding his wife’s death and how it haunted him with guilt but finally being able to move on when he met kedama… hes so endeared by kedama its so so cute i love him so much, what a gentle good giant.. love love love his emotional breakdown when he realized the possibility of kedama disappearing and how it Crushed him when he saw how much kedama cherished the cheap bracelet.. ITS ALL IN THE LITTLE THINGS. The slice of life and sweet domestic bliss they had was so sayisfying and comforting to read. Everything just felt so tender and sweet and warm they truly love each other so much,,,, Author depicted kedama’s cat traits so adorably, especially when hes in his lil fluffball form trying his absolute best despite the odds, hes the bestest catboy wife ever…. His bright innocence and genuine care in taking care of chigusa had me tearing up bc my godddd, he just wants to be useful and to not be abandoned,, its so heartbreaking im so glad the author didnt put unnecessary drama, and even without it, the story’s conflict about “loving and to be loved” still hits just as hard especially with kedama’s abadonment issues and chigusa’s guilt/grief. The slice of life is tooth achingly sweet, theyre so so damn cute. I wouldnt mind the author spanning this out in multiple volumes. I love it so much i love the characters the couple dynamic the angst the story telling the gorgeous art and wonderful panels its all 10/10. Straight to point story with a charged theme of what it means to love and be loved. This is the second work ive read from koishikawa sensei and goddamn do they know how to write and express the desperation in wanting to be loved and needed. Its heart wrenching lol what a goat

EX HITMAN MC GETS TAKEN IN BY A FLORIST SLASH UNDERCOVER MAFIA ML INSTEAD AND HIBIYA ADORES HIMMMM???????? pulling all the strings to protect taiga please omg thats so cute

the way the author wrote haruki and kentarou’s characters and relationship is so down to earth and mature, like wow the communication and the subtle personal conflict? Theres no big drama, no ups or downs, the mood of the story stayed the same till the end but it wasnt bad? Its just so pleasant and cute and soft and nice especially in the way kentarou fell for haruki, all of it were just panels where he quietly gazes at him, looking so damn enamored the art style is damn gorgeous too wawawawawa i love this story so much kentarou’s chara design is so damn handsome too AGHHHHHHH please let this have a live action drama please its just too damn cute … we as a society truly need more little forest-adjacent bls pls its the cure to mankind

Ch 107 Read this thinking its gonna be a good silly hehe haha plot but got smacked with the most heartbreaking, nerve wrecking plot ive ever read from a shoujo in a good long while holy shit ? Like tell me why i just cried through majority of the chapters? Oh my god? This story is so damn good? From the couple dynamic, the relationship growth and the unfolding plot all of it is so well done!!!!!! the art improved tremendously too omg author!!!!!!! THE DAMN PLOT TWISTS WAS FUCKING CRAZY TOO OH MY GOD?????? The way everything clicked the further the chapter goes and suddenly the change in mood of the story is fucking amazing? Like i swear half way thru the story dipped into graphic/mature territory like the blatant blood splatter, burning body, mentions of class inequality, conflicting family dynamics and how it parallels to that of a religion in its own…. The themes for these story are incredible oh my god? Love love love how the central moving part and theme of the story circles around family dynamics, all the parallels between the characters…. Never thought “doomed by the narrative” but make it mother son duo to be this heartbreaking godddddd Girl author cooked like fucking crazy with this holy shit im in awe????? Truly havent felt this engaged in a shoujo story in a while its genuinely such an addicting page turner!!! The moment the plot started unfolding and youre met with this dooming feeling of helplessness towards the narrative… u know shits about to be GEWD…. Like i genuinely do not know how this will end …. Everytime we are having a hehe haha family moment the next chapter just bulldozes it and reminds us about the inevitable and its sooooo nervewrecking… also fucking love seeing aisha’s mental breakdown when she had the vision dream it felt so visceral and raw … i just kept crying reading this her relationship with hades is so well written too like i LOVE hades bad he is such a lover boy… and his love for her was so overwhelming it rlly bled into his next lives.. HE’D FIGHT GOD FOR HER????? Yall dont ever settle for anything less omg… but the best of all is rlly the way the author portrayed aisha and abel’s relationship. That instant connection upon seeing your mother/son that spanned thru lifetimes…. And having to sacrifice that happiness for the sake of others and the mercy of your child…. That shit is fucking devastating…. Out of all shoujo manhwas, this one deserves an anime adaptation the most, especially by key studios like i know the ost for this story would hve me choking on tears……. PLEASE this is my favourite story ever the love the angst the devotion the desperation the despair . Family family family. Its just so damn good. Author really came into this story with a goal in mind and they fucking delivered

WE’RE GONNA GET THAT ANIME ADAPTATION TRUST

From vol1 to vol6 it was a banger after banger. The perfect comfy story to cuddle up and read after a long say bc of how wholesome and sweet it is. Had me tearing up in certain scenes bc of how sweet they were TT im so invested in all these characters, i rlly hope its jsut a continous slice of life series that doesnt end,,, i love it so much…. All the conflict and miscommunication is handled so well and its visible in how naoto and hazuki’s relationship develops in each volume… i rlly hope it never ends TTTT

OHHHHHH THE DRAMA OF IT ALLLLLLLL I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! Such a good bittersweet angst too. Honestly i love how all the characters are written, it feels so grounded to reality, especially shinwoo’s detachment/commitment issues given his family background :( theres so much on his plate i feel insanely sorry for him. maybe bc i can see myself in him that i sympathize with him a lot. His walls are rock solid. And its sad that hes been living this way for the majority of his life :( poor bub….. rlly loving how the author is structuring his chara though, hes firm/cold and standoffish still bc thats his coping mechanism and its understandable especially with what hes been through TTT im glad the author didnt make han’s confession fix everything for shinwoo (mentally) like the part where shinwoo said hes going to get himself used to letting han go????? By looking back at him when he goes??? thats fucking sad man lmao god he needs a hug. At least the people around him are really protective and fond of him tho TT Han’s character development was satisfying to see too, and honestly its funny how the way shinwoo’s ex met up with him/dialogue is almost similar to how he met han lol ALSO i like how even the ex kind of has his chara development as well (too early to be sure but it seems like it) AND I LOVE ITTTTT RAHHHH give me the bittersweet drama!!!!!!!!!! Make han cry!! Make him desperate!!!! Thats what he gets for whatever the hell he pulled in highschool lmao love how he started distancing himself but then was Stressed when shinwoo did the same dummies both of them…. 10/10 across the boards for me especially for the pacing, plot, drama and conflict. Very obsessed!!!! Good heart aches!!! Good atmosphere!!!! And now that its finally completed all i wanna say is i LOVEEE the way author wrote shinwoo’s trauma and anxiety so well, as someone who has that exact fear, it felt really authentic. And to have han have this Amazing chracter development arc where he realised how much of an asshole he was in the past bit him in the ass was sooo satisfying. It wasnt like a one chapter done deal thing, author made sure han carried that regret continuously?!!!! Its sooo good xD Sure, shinwoo’s progression to accepting his past and moving on felt quite hurried, but other than that im just really happy with the way everything laid out. Their exes didnt turn out into this big stressful cliche conflict (matter of fact, shout out to han’s ex for warning shinwio abt him bc knowing his track record, i would have done the same thing LMAO) this story was about Them. And them healing and learning from their past and traumas and i think that was wholesomely enough. Solid 9/10!! Love the author for portraying anxiety, grief and trauma very thoughtfully <3 (And i agree with a lot of the commentors, if they showed their pictures in the frame up until they were old i would have cried buckets AHHH i wanted a wedding special at least TTTT)

Its so fucking cute lmao the lil misunderstandings and slow burn girl its highschool fluff ofc im seated im obsessed this is the perfect fluff romance every no notes its just so fucking good… miscommunication who????? I love this so damn much

A very pleasant lighthearted read!! Yokai x human stories always gets my heart aching with the eventual parting the couple will go through bc of their different lifespans and this is exactly what happened i love how sweet and simple it is, two lonely individuals finding comfort with one another and building a life from the love they cultivated for one another and giving it a whole new meaning; my favourite love story theme forever!!!!! The art style is gorgeous, author’s work is stunning and the characters are sweet and lovable. I adore haku, i ache at his abandonment anxiety, hes jsut so cute and wonderful TTT i would have enjoyed chapters and chapters of their slice of life in the country side and the ending was wonderful too, im so happy haku finally got to disappear and join izuki, what a good boy to have waited to patiently and earnestly through all the years, kept the house as best as he could even with all the vines growing TTTT “the pain he gave me is kind and sweet.” The way i teared up… oh the inevitable pain of being loved…. What a satisfying read, obsessed with the final panel, so simple so peaceful and so quiet. They deserve this sweetness, 10/10!!!!

YEAHH YEAHHH YEAHHHHH SECRET LOVERS LETS GOOOOO
